What is the best way to design a theatre program using Microsoft Office?

I’m looking for a template (or an easy suggestion) to create a program for a theatre production using office. I have Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop but I am unsure which would be most user-friendly for this type of project.

The program would be an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet folded in half to form a booklet.

The easy way to do two pages on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet is to use Microsoft Word using the standard template. The trick is when you go to print the document use the option in the Print dialog box to print multiple pages per sheet. This option is in the lower right portion of the Print dialog box in the ‘Zoom’ box in Word 2003. For your design use the option to print 2 pages per sheet while using a standard letter (8 1/2 x 11) page size. Try it and see if it gives you the results you want. In Word it is easy to import and manipulate the text and graphics for a theatre program.
